Chapter 241 Progress of Transfiguration
Transfiguration is a very stream-of-consciousness type of witchcraft.

Yes, stream of consciousness - the more breakthroughs he made in Transfiguration, the more profound his feelings in this regard became.

Take the simplest transfiguration as an example - turning a match into a needle.

This simplest transfiguration does not specify what the needle looks like, how long it is, how sharp it is, how big the eye of the needle is, what material it is made of, how hard and tough it is...

None of these - all the best students have to do is to imagine the match as a needle and then create it.

The same is true for subsequent learning, even when Andrew has mastered the rules that stump most Transfiguration masters. Try to understand, communicate, master, and finally apply them. This is the perfect concept of Transfiguration.

Is this ok?

very good.

Yes, it's very good, extremely good - the person who puts those messy rules aside and lets consciousness determine the transformation is simply a fucking genius!
Only in this way can the introduction to Transfiguration be simplified and young wizards can master it.

Otherwise, imagine that scene - oh my God, dear little wizards, today we will first learn about the definition of length units, toughness, hardness, diameter and sharpness, and... Okay, after learning these more than seventy items, we can define a needle and start your transfiguration practice!

That's really too annoying - do you think this Transfiguration is standard and strict? Of course it is strict and thorough, but any idiot who gives such a course to a beginner will really be sent to Azkaban.

But a vague beginning does not mean that it will always be vague - whether it is repeated practice or review to learn new things, it is all to make your Transfiguration more and more exemplary.

Replace feelings with quantification, and then explore the extremes of various quantifications. This will make things more repeatable and easier to reuse.

The iron-carbon phase diagram is the ultimate accumulation of iron and carbon - at least it is the ultimate accumulation that Andrew understands.

As a wizard with decent Transfiguration skills, he could set the temperature and refer to the diagram to perform a perfect transformation of iron and carbon, thus feeling the Transfiguration reaching its extreme - after all, others were just watching the furnace, while he was directly involved in the changes and could feel everything most intuitively.

To put it more simply, he is like putting his hand painlessly into the pot to fry sugar color, using the most intuitive feeling to experience the temperature change, and he is well aware of the changes in various types of sugar under temperature.

There is no doubt that Dumbledore saw through his ideas and tried them himself - no doubt this extreme view was of great help to Dumbledore.

Because when Dumbledore took Andrew away, he even took him on the Knight Bus, and also took the return trip...

"I need to learn something - some things made me look too far ahead and fail to notice the changes that were happening right next to me..."

Dumbledore looked at Andrew and Disapparated away in Hogsmeade, leaving Andrew standing there in a daze with two manuscripts - the other one was an introductory book given by Nick Flamel after he knew that he knew nothing about alchemy, but it was a manuscript compiled by Nick.

"You're just going to leave it at that?"

Andrew sighed—the principal seemed a little too crazy.

But, it's good.

The iron-carbon phase diagram is the basis, and there are also alloys, plastics, and various synthetic materials that can be utilized by Transfiguration.

These were originally the subjects that Andrew had assigned to himself, but there was no doubt that with Dumbledore's wisdom, after the iron-carbon phase diagram opened the door that was within reach, the rest of the things would definitely come into his sight.

'After I finish my course, Transfiguration may have a new branch - this is the best entry point, Transfiguration has the strongest imitation ability.'

As a student, he was not worried at all about the professor learning too much - the more knowledge the professor had, the more he could learn. If Sirius were to be the professor of Transfiguration, he could only study hard on his own with the textbook. He had not reached the research stage yet, so it was better to learn as much as he could!

"I will go back to school to write a report first, and then deal with the stick first - the rules hidden by Dumbledore are really interesting."

-

"Back?" "Yes, Professor."

"How do you feel, Nick..." Professor McGonagall shook her head, "He has not been in good shape since last year. He seems to be very pessimistic about the development of alchemy..."

...

That was in the past, Professor. The past is the past. Now Mr. Nick...well, has started lifting weights.

Yes - before Andrew and the others left, Mr. Nick, who had hurriedly stuffed an introductory book into his hand, had already begun to run impatiently to his laboratory, as if he were a person who was extremely bored by junk games and had discovered a groundbreaking new game.

"Iron... the bones of civilization... I wonder what will happen after the initial understanding."

Andrew had no doubt that the information in those materials laboratories would be stolen in the next period of time - knowledge is always extremely expensive.

'Perhaps I am too self-critical...'

Andrew shook his head to clear his messy thoughts - he admitted that if it was him who took his Transfiguration skills a step further in public information, he wouldn't mind using the power of magic to steal knowledge.

"Veritaserum, Legilimency... I..."

"Tyler?"

Professor McGonagall's voice woke Andrew up.

'What the hell am I thinking?'

"I rarely see you distracted. What are you thinking about?"

The professor's voice sounded, but it didn't sound angry, but rather curious.

So Andrew took the iron-carbon phase diagram to the professor.

"this?"

Professor McGonagall looked at the huge drawing with a little surprise on her face.

"Albus saw this? You provided it? Interesting picture. I knew a little about it back then, but after taking office..."

After starting to deal with school affairs, Professor McGonagall had no time to read even the authoritative magazine Transfiguration Today, let alone the power of Muggles.

"I think I understand why Albus didn't come back... He really is..."

Professor McGonagall nodded and put the parchment away. "I will take some time to study it later. You can go back and rest first. Taylor, if you have any questions, come to me in three days, no, a week. Of course, you can ask me about other Transfiguration spells at any time. Go back."

"Yes, Professor."

Andrew nodded and left the office, ready to deal with the stick.

'The last one is a bit difficult, will it be almost done after school starts?'

He judged so.
